Battery EEPROM Works has been designed as an alternative to repairing EEPROM-related issues by rewriting the battery’s data so that a full-charge’s power shows the real capacity of the cells.

Did you forget your hardware-based password and now you’re locked out? If it’s an IBM ThinkPad you may be in luck but it involves a bit more than just removing the backup battery. SoDoItYourself has an article detailing the. The process is a fun one. Disassemble your laptop.

Build a serial interface and solder it to the where the password is stored. Connect this interface to a second computer and use it to dump the data into a file. Download a special program to decipher the dump file and dig through the hex code looking for something that resembles the password.

Reassemble your laptop and hope that it worked. We know that most people won’t be in a position to need a ThinkPad administrator password, but there must be other situations in which. What have you used this method for? • • • • Posted in Tagged,,,, Post navigation.

I’ve done this before but better. Dell latitude laptops have a service-tag for identification purposes and so that you can find drivers a heck of lot easier when searching for them from the del website. I was able to replace an eeprom (I wish I could remember which one now, im sure its searchable) with a blank one and I was able to #1 be able to login to the machine that had this asset/service tag password and now when you look at the bios #2 be able to see a blank asset tag, so in theory it couldn’t be verified that it was (ahem) miss placed or something. Did anyone notice that this is a AT24RF08? While states that the RFID interface is unused, all it seems to require is an external antenna. That opens up a whole chapter of conspiracy theories. Can you remotely set a password?

Can they remotely deactivate a thinkpad? Could they remotely exploit the bios to execute code? Back in 2003 when I tried to add a WLAN card to my A31, the bios complained that the WLAN card wasn’t the twice-as-expensive original IBM card, and refused to boot. Was that because they support the hidden remote access functionality only with their card? I did this very hack only a month ago for a couple of friends. They even paid me $50 for the service even though I told them it was a learning experience for me and I didn’t want any compensation. @brad: Take the laptop apart and you’ll see a small battery located somewhere on the motherboard – probably not far from the eeprom chip.

Remove the battery for a few minutes, reconnect it, and then put it all back together. I had to do this for one of the IBM laptops I was repairing where the password wasn’t set but the BIOS was prompting for a password anyway. I had to email the guy that posted the n2408 utility to figure that out because the contents of the eeprom didn’t make any sense.

Battery EEPROM Works is designed to simplify the process of laptop battery repair. This process can be divided in two parts: cells replacement and fixing the content of EEPROM or integrated Flash of laptop battery controller. While cells replacement is easy and can be made by any technician who can work with welding machine, EEPROM fixing is very complicated and important task and can be made only by the personal with special skills and equipment. Battery EEPROM Works makes this process as easy as 1-2-3. The technician needs just to connect EEPROM chip to adapter and press the button. All the necessary work will be made by the software.
